[Dover]

The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement (BOEMRE) and U.S. Coast Guard concluded that BP, Transocean and Halliburton all share blame in the April 20, 2010 Macondo oil spill in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico through a combination of well design, approach to well control and missed steps...cont'd

5. but the end result is just making recommendations for in the future.

Looks like it will take civil suits to use this determination in future court cases.

7. So who's going to jail? IIRC 11 people were murdered.

8. You don't recall correctly. Nobody was "murdered".

(Not to say that people from BP, Transocean & Halliburton
shouldn't be going to jail for their crimes but at least stick
to the correct crimes.)

10. Yes indeed, my memory was correct: 11 were murdered

FYI: Depraved indifference is murder.

11. Much as you might want it to be so, you are still wrong.

FYI: Nothing in your link supports your claim either.
